Because that would be more work in BFD if we wanted to catch all possible cases
of padding, slowing down all file writes.  You could of course patch your own
binutils sources.  The place that skipped writing for your testcase was
bfd/elf.c:assign_file_positions_except_relocs, here:

  /* Place the section headers.  */
  off = align_file_position (off, 1 << bed->s->log_file_align);

You will find that the same thing will happen when ld generates executable
files, so there will be more places to patch.
